What We’re Looking For:
*
Proven experience in a senior legal administration role within a law firm

Strong supervisory or line management background – able to motivate and manage people and processes

Experience within a Private Wealth or Private Client team would be advantageous, but is not essential
*
Organised, proactive, and confident communicator with a problem-solving mindset
This is a brilliant opportunity to grow with a thriving department and make a real impact in a firm known for its excellence, culture, and client commitment.
